NIGEL FARAGE has been branded a hypocrite during an astonishing rant aimed towards the Brexiteer after the High Court ruled Theresa May doesn’t have the power to trigger Article 50 without a Parliamentary vote.

Speaking following the High Court’s decision, LBC host James O’Brien aimed his attack at the Ukip leader after he said the Brexit “liars” had gone so far they are unable to retract their statements.

He said: “Anarchy is around the corner – it’s kind of what happens when the liars have gone so far in they can never retreat – they can never pull back.

“Just look at Mr Farage for a moment, look a man who said if the result was 52 per cent and 48 per cent there would be very strong case for having a second referendum.

“He’s already I presume talking about betrayal, but he actually said out loud that it was 52-48 it would be close enough to merit calls for a second referendum.

Nigel Farage was branded a hypocrite in a rant by LBC's James O'Brien

It’s almost as if we need a new word because hypocrisy and fraudulent are no longer powerful enough

“Of course, he said that when he thought the Leave side was going to lose, but those of us who are honest, those of us who are true, those of us who have integrity would have to say if you made that point expecting one result then you should still subscribe to it when the result is the same numbers but the opposite way.

“He also said that Barack Obama had no business interfering in British politics – this a few weeks before he stood on a podium alongside a self-confessed sex abuser, Donald Trump.

“What’s that? Foreign politicians should have no business interfering with British politics but you’re at a rally for the American presidential election.

“It’s almost as if we need a new word because hypocrisy and fraudulent are no longer powerful enough words to describe this man.

“And now we’ve got a situation where British judges have invoked British law to remind British people what the British Parliament is there for – how could anyone be unhappy about that?”

Mr Farage warned fellow politicians that any attempt to block or delay Britain’s exit from the European Union will be met with untold anger from the public.

In a statement released following the High Court ruling on Article 50, the interim Ukip leader declared he fears a Brexit “betrayal” is on the horizon.

He said: “I worry that a betrayal may be near at hand.
